Report of School Board.
To the Citizens of North Hampton:
In submitting a report of the school work for the past year, we feel that we can confidently say that it has been a good year for all of the schools. Since the beginning of the school year in September last, Miss Mabel Junkins, of Merrimack, N. H., has been in charge of the Grammar school, and has proved to be a painstaking and conscientious teacher, as shown by the very satisfactory progress made by the pupils in her care in the various branches taught.
We were fortunate in being able to retain the services of Miss Joanna P. Simmons in the East school, and of Miss Helen E. Somerby for the Center primary for another year, and cannot speak too highly of the work done by these two teachers.
Mr. C. L. Akeley, of Exeter, has been continued as instruc- tor in Music and Drawing, meeting with much success in these two branches, which we consider fully as important as any taught in our schools.
We wish that many more parents would visit schools than have previously done so, as their presence in the school room is very pleasing, both to teacher and pupil, showing, as it does, that you are interested in the work your children are doing, and also encouraging the teachers to put forth their best efforts.
The discipline in all the schools has been maintained at a high standard, both in the school rooms, and in the out-of- doors recreation. There has been no case of corporal punish- ment and no damage done in or around the school buildings to the value of a penny.
We have learned that a little heart to heart talk has a better effect on our school children than a severe punishment.
During the year a new furnace has been placed in Center school building, and thirty-two new desks placed in the Grammar school room.
20
In accordance with the school laws, we recommend that the following amounts be raised in addition to what the law requires to be raised for school purposes:
High school tuition $360 00
Text books and supplies 150 00
Insurance
30 00

MUSIC.
This subject has, during the year, received most careful attention; and the "Weaver system," which is now firmly established, is bringing most gratifying results.
This most excellent system enables the supervisor and teachers to present the work in a stepwise manner, in which each part of every lesson is most carefully worked out, and always with a definite end in view.
As an illustration, let us assume that the purpose of a lesson is to teach a step in the study of rhythm. A blackboard exercise is written, from which all difficulties in tune are eliminated. By this means the children are enabled to con- centrate their attention entirely upon the rhythmic form under consideration.
In teaching a problem in tune, the reverse process is re- sorted to; whereby we find it very easy to lead a class to think only of tone relations.
When our step in time and tune shall have been thoroughly developed separately, we combine the two; always using new and different exercises; and we are always gratified to find
22
that our young folks can now think of two things at once; and can read at sight, and with surprising accuracy, exercises adapted to their individual grades.
The mental training involved in this work is of inestimable value; and is not excelled by that of any other work in the whole school course.
O! why do parents and friends of our pupils not visit the schools more, and encourage us all by their presence?
I wish to express my thanks to the school officers and teach- . ers for their kindness and courtesy.
C. L. AKELEY, Supervisor.
DRAWING.
We are glad to state that keen interest is maintained in form study and drawing; and that our classes are ready to give a good account of themselves.
Of course our time is very limited, but we feel sure that any one who will take the trouble to visit the schools while any of the drawing lessons are being given, will be pleased with the work and the sustained interest.
Drawing appeals to the intellect of a child in a manner peculiar to itself alone; and is, therefore, a necessary, and indispensable, part of the work of any good school.
More or less drawing is involved in the successful presenta- tion of almost any subject taught in school. Many teachers fail to realize the power of drawing as a means of developing a lesson.
We earnestly hope that when our friends come to school to hear the children sing, that they will tarry to see them draw.
