From the great variety of subjects which might be of interest, I have chosen only those which seem to be most important at the present time, and defer the consideration of others until some later date when it is hoped the school report can be furnished separate from the other town reports.


TEACHERS.


The most important consideration in any school is a good teacher. All improved conditions are of small mo- ment compared to this. A weak, inefficient teacher is ex- pensive though serving for a low salary, while the service of one who is strong, well-trained and fitted for the work is cheap at any reasonable compensation.


More is being required of teachers year by year. They must be strong, sympathetic, scholarly, tactful and trained to appreciate and apply whatever is best in the theory


29


and practice of their profession. Their intellectual and moral ideals must be high for they are the models which the pupils unconsciously imitate. They should not be teaching as a mere makeshift but must be devoted to their work, and take an intelligent, sympathetic interest in each individual child.


It is because the majority of our teachers possess in large degree the qualifications referred to, that our schools as a whole have made commendable progress throughout the year. It is also true that wherein certain schools have failed to attain to the standard of excellence that we have a right to expect, it has been due largely to the teacher's lack of training or natural adaptation to the work.


The Walpole schools are desirable enough in point of situation and salary, to demand that candidates should either present satisfactory evidence of successful experience or of special training. They should not expect to get both experience and training at the expense of their pupils. Al- though graduates of normal and training schools some- times fail for lack of natural fitness, yet it remains true that all our most successful teachers are using in their work ideas and methods taught in such schools.


ATTENDANCE.


The attendance at the schools in both villages has been fairly satisfactory during the year, but some improvement should be made by means of official action and parental influence.


A district by-law authorized by the statutes and advised by the state department of public instruction will be pro- posed for adoption at the annual meeting. Certain cases which are liable to arise can be treated more directly through such a by-law than in any other way.


It is hoped that the school board will appoint an efficient truant officer for the south part of the town. If teachers could be asked to report promptly to such an officer any cases of unexcused absence occurring in their


30


rooms, the attendance would doubtless be somewhat improved. The knowledge that official notice would be taken of unnecessary absence would tend to prevent its occurrence.


But after all that may be done by official action, the responsibility for regular attendance rests largely with the parents. By evasion or indifference they may defraud their children of school privileges, and yet in most cases escape the penalties of law. Fortunately the parents of Walpole, with few exceptions, appreciate the value of our schools and are ready to make a considerable personal sacrifice, if necessary, to secure the best educational advantages available for their children.


A careful enumeration of pupils was taken last fall in accordance with the law recently passed; this shows that there are in the town 655 children between the ages of five and sixteen years.


TEXTBOOKS.


In nothing can the progress in educational methods and ideas be more plainly seen than in the superiority of modern approved textbooks over those in common use not many years ago. Here, as everywhere else, the best is the cheapest.


A new series of arithmetics based on the spiral plan has been introduced in all the schools of the district. No other changes have been made in the standard texts. Several series of readers, histories and language books have been furnished for some of the lower grades. Much more material of the same kind is needed.


New and improved ways of teaching demand more and better books and supplies. This demand together with the constantly increasing number of pupils has made it diffi- cult to keep within the limits of the town appropriation and yet supply the reasonable needs of the pupils.


The work of labelling and numbering the text books has been completed, and a record giving the kind, number and location of all books has been made.


1


31


Teachers are required to keep a record of all books on hand and lent to pupils, and to report any loss or dam- age which may occur. This system will prevent much of the loss that generally results where no regular book record is kept.


CONVEYANCE.


The conveyance of pupils to a central school at Wal- pole village has become established by common consent. Very few, if any, would go back to the old system of small neighborhood schools. It is no longer a question whether pupils shall be conveyed, but how to secure, with- out too great expense, comfortable and efficient conveyance.


The larger number of pupils made it necessary to add another team at the beginning of the fall term, making five now employed.


It would seem to be expedient for the district to own a part if not all of the carriages used for conveyance. The conditions could thus be made more uniform and satisfactory. Contracts could also be more readily placed if it were not necessary to fit up a carriage for a term of service liable to be limited to one year.


The employment of a matron to look after the chil- dren who have to remain during the noon hour at the village schools has proved a desirable arrangement and should be continued.


SCHOOL BUILDINGS.


With the fitting up of another room at North Walpole the crowded condition which prevailed there last year in some rooms has been remedied. It would appear at pres- ent that the ten rooms now in use would be sufficient for the year to come.


I believe it would be wise to establish a kindergarten department at North Walpole. One of the unused rooms could be fitted up with but little expense. Many of those now in the sub-primary room could be better cared for in a kindergarten.


32


At Walpole village there is an evident lack of room. It has long been apparent that the high school has in- sufficient accommodations. The need of a recitation room seems imperative, while the present provision for dressing rooms, apparatus, books, and supplies is wholly inadequate.


In the other village schools the need of more room is still more evident. Especially is this true in the primary school where more than fifty children in three grades have to be cared for by one teacher. If the number of pupils should continue to increase as rapidly as for the past few years, some would have to be refused admission, for there is scant seating space for those already attending.


By reference to the table giving the number of pupils for the past four years, it will be seen that while the rate of increase for the whole town has been but 181/2%, for Walpole village it has been 641/2%. This cannot be said to be the result of consolidation for no outside schools have been added since 1901, and the rate of increase has been about the same for each year.


It may be a matter of surprise to some of our citizens to learn that the village schools have increased in numbers more rapidly for the past three years than any others in town.


It is the opinion of several who have examined the premises that the most practicable way to provide the room needed both for the high school and the grades is by an addition to the east end of the present high school. building.


Such an addition should be two stories in height, the lower for a graded school and the upper to provide for the needs of the high school.


The present chimney is insufficient and should be re- built so as to provide not only for smoke flues but also for the proper ventilation of the rooms.


Under the present system the impure air in both the high and grammar rooms is carried back to the furnace


33


to be heated again and served up to the pupils with its accumulated impurities.


Estimates of the cost of the proposed addition will be furnished at the annual meeting should the district decide to consider the matter at that time.


READING.


The generous action of the Walpole library officials in opening the library during the noon hour each day of the winter term has been appreciated by the pupils. The schools will be helped in having access to a wider variety of reading material and the library will secure a still stronger influence in the community. The schools are also indebted to the library for the loan of books of reference and for general reading.


Reading is more than ever recognized as the key to all knowledge, and more attention is being devoted not only to oral reading but to the development of a taste for what is best and most helpful in literature.


DRAWING.


The study of drawing is becoming of increasing inter- est and use. No course of study is at all complete which omits it.


It is not expected that its study will make artists of our children, but no more will the study of reading or literature make them authors of repute.


But its study does train the child to observe carefully and to express correctly what he has observed. It culti- vates an intelligent appreciation of beauty in nature and art, and encourages originality and invention. There is no calling or pursuit to which a knowledge of drawing will not add interest and profit.


It has long been recognized that to teach music suc- cessfully a special teacher should be employed. No one will question the value of the work done by Miss Maynard, our supervisor of music, nor will any one assume that the


IV 5


34


same results could have been secured by the teachers act- ing independently.


In like manner to get uniform and satisfactory results in drawing, a supervisor should be employed to visit the schools at stated intervals and outline the order and quantity of work to be done in the different grades.


From some inquiries made, I think such a supervisor can be secured at a reasonable outlay should the school board deem it wise to employ her.


HIGH SCHOOL.


It was a matter of universal regret in town that Principal Heald of our high school should resign his posi- tion here. But we are satisfied that the reputation of the school will not suffer under the skillful direction of Princi- pal Danforth and his efficient assistants.


The attendance is considerably larger than last year. One of the best evidences of the excellent work being done in the grammar schools, both at Walpole village and North Walpole, is that every one promoted from the ninth grade last year has entered some high school.


The courses of study in the high school are framed in the interest, not only of the few who may enter college, but also of the larger number who, for various reasons, may not enter a higher institution.


It is expected that a class of eight will be graduated at the close of the present school year.


DOES IT PAY?


The cost of maintaining the public schools is one of the largest items of expense to the taxpayers of our town. The question may arise in the minds of some, "Is this yearly outlay justified by the results produced?"


The majority of our citizens would without hesitation answer in the affirmative, but it may be worth while to review some of the reasons for thus answering,- "to know the reason for the faith that is in us."


And first, it should be said that educational advan-


1


35


tages cannot be measured by merely commercial standards.


As a means, however, for increasing the wealth of the state there is no force or agency that takes equal rank with our public schools.


As we come to understand better the relations that exist between the opportunities for education and the wealth-producing power of a people, we find that the earning capacity of the average citizen bears an exact ratio to the time he has spent in school. Statistics collected in Massachusetts and other states together with those fur- nished by the United States commissioner of education will fully bear out this statement.


It has been estimated that on the general average, every day the pupil spends in school adds ten dollars to his earning capacity in after life, and this does not take into account the larger values which come to him be- cause of his broader views of life and increased capacity for enjoyment.


It might be remarked here incidently that the parent who keeps his boy out of school to hoe potatoes at fifty cents a day is guilty of using for his own selfish advantage what rightfully belongs to another.


But there is a higher argument than one based on money values. Our schools find their amplest justification in the higher citizenship which they help to evolve.


The country needs not so much men who can make money, as intelligent and patriotic citizens and voters. Ignorance and vice are not more necessarily linked together than are intelligence and virtue. One of the strongest reasons why Walpole is considered a desirable place in which to have one's home is because of its reputation for good schools. Whatever would cripple them would in a very large measure hinder the material as well as the social, moral and intellectual progress of the town.


From every point of view, whether social, economic, or ethical, the schools deserve your continued support.


36


Any other course would be short-sighted and prejudicial to the best interests of the community.


Respectfully submitted, CLINTON J. RICHARDS, Superintendent of Schools.


Walpole, Feb. 15, 1904.


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.


To the Town School District of Walpole:


The school board herewith respectfully submits its an- nual report.


We commend to the careful notice of the citizens the report of our superintendent of schools. This report con- tains a survey of the work of the year, showing the changes and outlining the improvements and needs of our schools.


The school board recognizes that Mr. Richards' super- vision has been careful and wise, and that the excellent con- dition of the Walpole schools is largely due to his efficient oversight. We feel that through him the new office of a superintendent of schools in our town has gained per- manency. Many may think that, since the employment of a superintendent who is a trained expert in school affairs, the cares of the school board are lightened. While this is true to a degree there is a much more important way of looking at it. The school board through its agent, the superintendent, is able to control affairs more thoroughly and systematically than ever before.


We agree with the superintendent in regard to his recommendations, and trust that appropriations will be made in order to extend the usefulness of the schools and give to the children of the town the better accommoda- tions necessary to their comfort and progress.


In regard to that part of our own report which shows the financial statement of the year, we would call atten-


37


tion to the change by which we show the actual receipts and expenditures of a fiscal year regardless of the school year. The amount shown by the treasurer as being on hand will be needed, and possibly more than needed, to. meet the expenses for the remainder of the winter term.


The school board heartily thanks the district for its co-operation and support, and asks for the coming year the continued good will and adequate financial backing which will keep our schools in the front ranks of public educational institutions.


Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM S. NICHOLS, Chairman. C. J. O'NEIL, H. E. PUTNAM, W. J. KING, J. W. GRAVES, E. A. WATKINS, School Board of Walpole.
