To the Citizens of North Hampton;
The school year for 1914-1915 closes with the schools in excellent condition, being under the control of able teachers.
We feel we have again been favored in retaining and secur- ing most excellent teachers to instruct our pupils. It is their aim to impart knowledge to the children and instill in their minds the love of the beautiful and cultivate a high sense of moral stand ng.
In this latter aim we implore the hearty co-operation of the parents and townspeople that we may see our young people growing into manhood and womanhood with a high standard of purity and education.
At the opening of the Fall term we found ourselves facing a problem regarding satisfactory conditions in the primary room at the Centre School.
With an incoming first grade of eleven and a total of forty- one in the four lower grades an assistant was found necessary in order that the time might be devoted to the newcomers and give them a proper start.
31
The committee were fortunate in being able to secure Miss Nima B. Locke to assist Mrs. Ford.
We placed nine seats in the small room between the two rooms and installed classes there.
During the Christmas recess Miss Locke resigned and Miss Lila Moulton was engaged to fill the place. She is doing excel- lent work along the same lines as Miss Locke.
Our great need is properly ventilated schoolrooms. This is a great problem, of intense and vital interest to every parent.
How can it be obtained? It seems as though three rooms could be made where we now have two at the Centre and in so doing plan for better conditions.
Transportation of pupils causes a great deal of unpleasant- ness and in looking up the towns within our state we find some have given up the transportation problem. We trust this matter may be adjusted at our school meeting.
It is gratifying to all to see how many of our pupils continue their education beyond our Grammar Schools. At present there are eighteen in High School and one in Commercial College.
Last June we had a Grammar School Graduation and it was much enjoyed by all. We look forward to a graduation this year in June.
Our music has held its high standard this year and with the aid of our new music readers we expect, our Supervisor will please us more than ever.
The weak point of our course seems to be in our lack of a course in drawing. There seems to be no connected line of work that will tend to be of any real worth to the pupil in later life.
Can we not work along more logical lines another year?
Our increased expenses in salaries of teachers by way of an assistant this year, the increase of sum of tuition at Hampton High School, also the large sum paid for transportation, as you may see by the treasurer's report, has made our expenses seem unduly large.
You must realize with the increase of High School pupils and
1
32
needed repairs we are asking for only what we feel we actually need for the coming year.
Trusting we shall work in perfect harmony as an entire community for the best good to the greatest number, we beg to submit the above report.
