To illustrate the almost panicky utterances on this question he quoted from a few of the many statements being made.
"The Bulletin of the National Education Association for November, after commenting on the increase of salaries already made, continues:
"'The increases are not sufficient however, to remove the danger. Over 100,000 positions in the public schools to-day are vacant or filled by teachers who cannot pass the minimum tests for teachers' certificates. Strong teachers are leaving the profession because of inadequate pay. Positions are being filled by immature and untrained teachers. It is esti- mated that the number of teachers below 21 years of age has, during the last year, increased by not less than 25 per cent.
"'An investigation made by this Association shows that the attendance at teacher training institutions has decreased over 20 per cent since 1916. It is high time, not only for the teachers, but the public, to give serious consideration to the teacher problem.'
"On Dec. 6, Governor Runyon of New Jersey issued a general proclamation to the people of that state, in which he said, 'Unless the people and members of School Boards are aroused to the great peril that is now threatening, the 600,000 in our New Jersey schools to-day, and perhaps a whole genera- tion of other children, may be made the victims of a de- moralized and broken down educational system.
"'The crisis is rendered acute by the alarming scarcity of teachers and that scarcity is due to the low salaries paid. Already the teacher scarcity has caused the lowering of edu- cational standards and even the suspension of classes through- out the state. It has made necessary the hiring of teachers
33
inadequately trained for the work. Serious as this situation is, it is only the beginning of what may become the gravest crisis the schools of New Jersey have ever faced. It is a crisis that is not limited to New Jersey alone, it looms as a menace to the whole country, to all the public schools in all the states.
"'New Jersey, therefore, faces the immediate prospect of closing schools or of drawing into the teaching profession a still larger number of those inadequately trained and with- out any special preparation for the work. If our children are to be taught by incompetent teachers, or are not to be taught at all, the end of American democracy, as we know it, is in sight.'
"There is now pending in the Ohio Legislature a resolution reciting the threatening conditions where hundreds and perhaps thousands of Ohio school classes will be without teachers and closes with the following:
"'Be it further Resolved; That the General Assembly request the governor of the state by proclamation to ask that all forces of the state join this educational crusade by addresses and by printed advertisements which will recruit the ablest young men and women of Ohio as teachers in our public schools." '
In the Boston Sunday Herald of Dec. 28, Dr. Thomas, State Superintendent of Public Schools for Maine, published a statement, to the effect that 80 schools were then closed because of the teacher shortage and that the number would shortly be greatly increased. Besides, he said, "If present emergencies are not met at the coming town meetings, there will be 500 schools closed next autumn at the best calculation, and many other schools will be opened by girls of no training and less than 20 years of age." Furthermore he gave the following statistics:
"Out of 650,000 teachers in the United States, 143,000 left the profession last year. In four years the graduates of normal schools in the United States decreased 30 per cent. One hundred thousand positions are without teachers or filled with teachers below the standard, and yet we have never,
34
in the history of America, realized as we do now the relation of education to free government. Nor have we realized before as now, what our schools mean to our country."
These foregoing statements from the widely separated states of Maine, New Jersey and Ohio, are only illustrative of country wide conditions.
General Streeter further informed us that from statistical experience we might expect in New Hampshire the with- drawal of between 400 and 450 teachers at the end of the present year. Our two normal schools will graduate less than 100, which is about the usual number. He said, "There is no certainty of filling the vacant places with a sufficient number of competent teachers. It seems absolutely essential, however, that our school boards and all other citizens inter- ested in our schools should realize that an emergency con- fronts us and prepare themselves to co-operate with the State Board in all sensible and practical ways to meet the emergency."
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Our buildings or rooms are now almost model rooms in every respect, for school purposes. One thing which I wish to suggest to the board is, that we should make some pro- vision for properly ventilating the Centre School, as the present system is entirely inadequate. I recommend that the Board take the proper measure to bring this matter before the voters of the district at the spring meeting. An- other matter that should receive the careful consideration of the Board and district is the installation of either a septic tank or chemical toilets, at least at the Centre School where we have a large number of pupils, and later at the East School also. With these improvements I believe our buildings would receive the permanent approval of the State Board of Education.
A few more slate blackboards should also be bought to replace some of the composition boards that are worn badly.
A piano is much needed for the Junior High School for chorus work. I believe the principal, Miss Phair, has about
35
$51 which the pupils earned by giving an excellent little play early in the present year. I wish we could get enough more to go with this to purchase a good second-hand piano. Possibly this suggestion is such as to interest the activities of our Parent-Teacher Association.
One thing which I wish to suggest to the board is to give careful consideration to the advisability of the district em- ploying a Red Cross nurse as a school or district nurse. We have such a nurse in Hampton this year, who is employed jointly by the local Red Cross Chapter and the School Board as the school and community nurse. In North Hampton we have medical inspection, which is very important; however, the "follow-up work" that the district nurse does in the homes of the community is fully if not more important than merely medical inspection. If North Hampton cannot have a nurse of its own, I feel quite certain that the Rye Board would be pleased to consider the employment of such a nurse jointly and possibly one or more other towns might wish to enter into the combination.
I have collected some school statistics for 1918-19 as a part of this report, which is appended.
I wish very much to attend the Columbia Teachers' College for about six weeks next summer, in order to take two or three courses pertaining to school supervision and adminis- tration, and have already obtained the permission of the State Board of Education to do so. I trust all the boards of my union will as readily grant me this privilege since such courses should increase my efficiency as your superintendent.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation of your counsel and cordial support, and of the co-operation of the parents and teachers in making the school work a success.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. WALKER.

Mr. C. H. Walker, Superintendent of Schools, North Hampton:
Dear Sir .- The weeks and months have passed so rapidly that I hardly realize it is time for me to submit my third annual report of the music in North Hampton.
The work has been carried on in the usual manner. Per- haps it is safe to say that this has been the most successful year of the three that I have been there, for there have been no interruptions such as the epidemic of last year caused, which necessarily impede the progress of the work.
After the first three years of work where the children through rote songs have learned to sing and where they have had ear training and some sight reading, they are ready for the more technical drill of the fourth grade. In the fifth and sixth grades two part singing is enjoyed and drill in chromatics and minor scales is given.
In the seventh and eighth grades two and three-part work is studied.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all who have given me their co-operation and support.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN C. JOHNSON, Supervisor of Music.
