Report of Superintendent of Schools.


To the School Board of North Hampton :-


I herewith submit my second annual report and the third of the Superintendents' series. The year since my last re- port has been a uniformly, progressive and even one. In June fourteen candidates for high school passed successfully the year's tests and were admitted to the Hampton high school on the certificate of the Superintendent. Others en- tered by examination in September. The report of the school to your Superintendent shows that most of these pupils have done and are doing satisfactory work. Twenty-one pupils, fitted in our grammar school, have been in the Hampton school this year, two are at Newburyport and one in Exeter. With a registration of less than ninety in our schools, the town has reason for feeling pride in this record.


No change in teachers in our schools for nearly one and one half years is to be reported. Frequent changes in the teaching force are always productive of harm to the schools unless such a change brings in better scholarship, newer methods, more skillful training and an enlarged equipment. Too much cannot be said in favor of retaining, as long as is possible, faithful, efficient, progressive teachers. The first and prime thing needed in a teacher is full, thorough, broad scholarship. With this as a foundation, training, methods, knowledge of children, and successful experience should be insisted on.


Numbers in the upper grades are smaller than last year, but the lower grades are larger, so the number enrolled is about the same.


Splendid results have followed the introduction, a year ago, of the word and sentence and phonetic methods of


2I


teaching reading in the primary rooms. Failure to secure good foundations in reading in the three lowest grades seemed to your Superintendent in the fall of 1908 to be the greatest weakness of the schools. The sympathy and co-operation of the primary teachers were won from the first and too much credit cannot be given them for the zeal with which they have adopted and put into practice newer and better methods. With patience and persistence, and with a con- tinuation of the same efficient service as now, classes of in- telligent, intelligible readers will be sent out from our schools.


The interest shown in the schools by the frequent visits of friends is pleasing. Teachers and pupils alike are helped when parents and citizens generally show interest enough in the schools to visit them on days when the regular pro+ gram is on. There is no better way to become acquainted with them than by frequent calls when not expected. It is never well to take an opinion of a school second hand.


Eye tests, as provided by law, have been given to all schol- ars above the first grade. These are of much value in dis- covering weakness, of which, often, not even the parents have knowledge. The authority of the school department ends with giving the tests and the notification of parents when serious trouble is suspected. In such a case, consul- tation with an oculist is strongly recommended, for neglect may lead to serious trouble. Prompt treatment often re- sults in improved general health, improvement in school work, greater ease with which all work requiring the use of the eyes is done. The Superintendent has given all these tests to make them more uniform.


An attempt is being made to look after books and sup- plies in a business way. The inventory of books, completed last spring, and the reading course put into the hands of teachers in September is valuable in so far as it is carefully followed. Some additions need to be made, but these needs are annual. A 'closet of sufficient size at a central point is needed for the general stock of school supplies.


The report of the supervisor of music and drawing is given


22


herewith. He tells you in detail of the work. I endorse his work, and affirm that the work under his supervision is a splendid one. New and highly approved methods of teach- ing music have been introduced by Mr. Akeley this year, with correspondingly favorable results. Musical knowledge and training for all children is as important as any subject taught in our schools, and in these days of industrial and me- chanical training, the need of drawing in the public schools is apparent to all. The little taught in the school room is sufficient to give many children incentive for future devel- opment.


There is need of carefully selected school room wall deco- ration in all the schools. Cheap pictures in gilt frames may have their place, but that place is not in the school room. I shall be glad to confer with any public spirited citizen or citizens who may wish to give $25.00, $50.00 or $100.00 to decorate the walls of our schools with fitting and not expen- sive pictures. The East school has placed a copy of Sir Galahad in the room. The educative value of such pictures cannot be computed in dollars, but it is great.


Your Superintendent has been very happy in his work this year, for the co-operation of School Board, teachers, pupils and citizens has been almost ideal. I desire to thank all for the assistance I have received on all sides.


Respectfully submitted,


O. H. ADAMS, Superintendent of Schools. February 10, 1910.


Report of the Supervisor of Music and Drawing.


To the Superintendent of Schools:


A review of the work of the past year affords much grati- fication; for, while all ideals have not been fully realized, and probably never will be, the fact remains, that a lively interest is being maintained in all of the schools, and excel- lent results are being reached.


A very noticeable, as well as pleasing phase of the work and its results, is exemplified in the cases of some first grade children, who, at the beginning of the school year, showed no evidence of having any musical ability whatever, and would have been pronounced hopeless subjects, by the aver- age person, so far as being capable of learning to sing is concerned; but it was evident from the first that they were lovable, and possessed of average intelligence; so we have persevered; and with the aid of their faithful teacher, we feel confident that we shall succeed in bringing them out; for their improvement, of late, has been very marked.


Individual singing has been carried farther this year than ever before, until at the present time we can call upon any child in the schools to sing an exercise alone, and a willing response is received at once. Many are anxious to do this; and while a few are still somewhat diffident with regard to it, I do not recall any case of insubordination.


All classes are being very thoroughly grounded in the principles of time and tune, and in the arithmetic of music.


Song interpretation receives, as it should, a generous share of attention.


Fifteen keys will be thoroughly taught in the Grammar schools before the end of the school year, and the seven rhythmic forms, which constitute the basis of musical struc- ture, will be fully mastered.


24


We earnestly wish that those who are interested in this work, would visit the schools more on music days. The children enjoy singing for company, and their interest in their work is always greatly stimulated by the presence of visiting friends.


Come often. We will entertain you well.


Drawing.


This subject is of great educational value, and is receiving careful attention.


All classes are taught to draw from objects; this trains the perception to a remarkable degree. Children who have this instruction accustom themselves to see much more in an object than do those not so favored.


Constructive drawing is carried on to a considerable extent, and serves to interest the pupil in learning how to make useful things, or to read mechanical drawings.


Considerable attention is given to the development of a taste for that which is pure and correct in the way of art decoration. It is believed that this will help lead young people to acquire the ability to discriminate between the good and the bad in all that pertains to art, and to appoint their future homes tastefully, instead of crowding them with a multitude of objects, incongruous in form, color, and use, as is done in too many cases.


We are not trying to make musicians of the children by teaching them music, nor artists by teaching them to draw; but it is believed that their lives will be enriched to a very great degree by the results of this work.


I wish to again extend my sincere thanks to our Superin- tendent, Board of Education, and grade teachers for their loyal support and hearty co-operation, without which I could but fail.


CARL L. AKELEY,


Supervisor of Music and Drawing.


Report of School Board.


To the Selectmen and Citizens of North Hampton:


The preceding reports of school work for the year are here- with submitted. The reports of Mr. Adams and Mr. Akeley are so full and complete, that it is unnecessary for us to add more than a word or two. . But we wish to express our thanks for the cordial interest in the school work, which has been manifested by all, especially shown by the largely increased number of visits of parents and friends as recorded in the reg- isters.


This is as it should be, for the interest thus shown in the children's work encourages them to do their best, also giv- ing parents an opportunity to see for themselves what their children are doing. We hope that the coming year will con- tinue to show an increasing interest. Do not forget that these schools are your schools, and that any suggestion looking toward improvement of them will be gratefully re- ceived. Let us all, whether officially connected with the schools or not, do all in our power for the strengthening of our school system. May our aim be to help the young peo- ple of our town to an education which shall fit them to dis- charge well the duties which may be laid upon them in the coming years of life.


Respectfully submitted,
