Your committee in looking through the Village cemetery were mueh surprised to find many of the trees deeayed near the ground and so hollow that it did not seem possible that they could stand the storms and winds of another season with- out some of them falling, and as we feared do much damage to the granite and marble monuments in the cemetery we deeided to have them taken down. We engaged competent tree trim- mers to do the work, which they did with mueh satisfaction to your committee and we hope to the entire satisfaction of all those interested in the good care of the cemetery. They

also did much for the sound trees by removing the dead and decayed branches. We feel it was a much needed improve- ment in the right direction. The expense of the work was $194.85.

Dear Sir :
Herewith I submit my first report as Principal of the Walpole high school.
The High school opened September 2. 1913, with a total .enrollment of forty-two pupils, every available seat being filled. This number consisted of fourteen boys and twenty- eight girls, being rather small, especially in the upper classes.
The town is to be commended for making a copy of Cur- rent Events available to every scholar in the High school, every week. It has proved instructive, and very valuable in letting the pupils, and sometimes their parents. know, in a condensed form, the important news of the world around them.
There is need of a French newspaper, a good periodical on Agriculture and Domestic Science and more reference books in these last two subjects.
Some sort of recreation or athletic exercise should be taken by every physically fit American high school boy and girl. There is need of a suitable place in which the boys may spend their winter and rainy-day recesses and noon-hours. Baseball and a Track Meet will be indulged in by the boys
54
later and some kind of recreation will be provided for the girls.
The Agriculture and Domestic Science courses are made as interesting and practical as equipment and conditions will allow. The courses in these however need revision. As these courses now stand, there is no difference between them and the college course except the substitution of Agriculture or Domestie Seience for Latin. The studies pursued in these two courses should be more appealing, interesting and more directly applied to Agriculture and Domestic Seience.
The purpose of the Walpole high school should be two- fold; first, to maintain a strong college course so that those who wish may be well fitted to enter higher institution, of learning, particularly New Hampshire State college. our State Normal schools and kindred institutions: secondly, and far more important, to maintain a practical, appealing course in Agriculture and Domestic Seience so that those who grad- uate from them may become better contented and educated residents of Walpole and citizens of New Hampshire.
Respectfully submitted,
R. E. SKINNER, Prineiçal.
To the Superintendent of Schools :
In making this my first report, I would speak first of the object of art instruction in our publie schools. It aims to develop the best mental powers of each individual child, to promote the growth of the children's creative imagination accompanied by growth in manual skill as the result of actual practise in doing things to increase a desire for beauty, good taste, and a regard for accuracy. The department of drawing in your schools has been made as practical and interesting as the best materials and the constant efforts of the teachers could make it.
The general outline for a year's work is divided into three groups. Representation, Construction and Design. This division of work is kept throughout the eight year's course. Because of the large classes in the high school and the short periods allowed for drawing, the subject has been dropped. The teachers have been very ready to assist both the pupils and myself and are teaching drawing better than ever before.
55
The pupils have worked with a willingness and it has been a pleasure to teach them.
I wish to express my appreciation of this interest of pupils and teachers and your co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MARY E. BAKER,
To Supt. Louis D. Record.
Dear Sir :-
I have the honor to submit to you the following report as Supervisory Principal of the North Walpole Public Schools :
System
Our system consists of a sub primary and nine grades. This year we have two seventh grades. Both of these grades are required to cover the same amount of work Under our present system we fit pupils for high school by a nine grade course.
I recommend the advisability of reducing the ninth grade system to one of eight grades. Our system would not be weakened by this reduction. State Superintendent Henry C. Morrison advocated this reduction on his last visit.
The reduction would save a year of grammar school work. The entering age into the Sub-Primary is four and a half years. This entrance age could be raised to five years, an op- portune time. Then a pupil, advancing normally through the eighth grade course would be fitted for high school at four- teen.
The year saved could be given to high school work. The saving of this year would tend to attract more pupils to high- school for a full course, because of the earlier entrance age and the subsequent graduation age. It would make our sys- tem more compact. Under our present order, the ninth grade is mostly review. While this principle is well to follow for a finishing year, the objection is that there is too much review. the eighth grade course has been widely adopted. It exists in many systems that aim to teach the essentials, as we do in our nine grades, and in addition these schools of only eight grades provide time for Manual Training, Sewing, Domestic Science and some languages. Surely then, if these schools fit for high school in eight years and furnish additional prepar.
56
ation, it is within our power to fit for high school, since we have no Manual Training or like courses. The studies in each year could be made more definite. It would bring about a higher standard in the grade work. The necessary finishing review could be made in the eighth grade.
Then our pupils entering the high school would be in- spired to work because new work would be presented. From my observation, I believe there is not a sufficient adjustment between our ninth grade and the first year in high school. There is a similarity that takes away the effort that is inspired by the realization of harder tasks and need for advancement.
I would also suggest a change in the duties of ninth grade assistant. At present the assistant has charge of the Sub-Primary and teaches the ninth grade after recess. I recommend that arrangements be made to obtain the services of a spcical music teacher to supervise music once in two weeks.
While the Committee may not see their way clear to adopt any of these suggestions for financial reasons, I wishi to state that I have called your attention to them as feasible ways by which our school could be strengthened.
In two years upon the graduation of the double grade the teaching force will consist of nine teachers and a Principal. Now it consists of ten teachers and a Principal. You will then have a teacher's salary for one year to provide new teaching arrangements.
Again, I might say that in the event of your adopting the eighth grade course, in two years' time you will have the salary of another teacher to provide improvements. The elimination of these teachers depends on the present enroll- ment remaining about the same.
Our Course of Study follows the suggestions laid down in the State Course of Studies, adapted to our ninth grade system. Our Sub-Primary, besides having the characteristics of a kindergarten, enters into work preparatory for the first grade.
The work of the grades embraces, Reading, Penmanship, Arithmetic. History, Geography, Grammar. Physiology, Draw- ing, Nature Study and Composition. We cannot be accused of teaching fads and fancies. Our whole time is devoted to the above studies.
Physiology is taken up in the sixth grade. In the fifth some local history is taught along with biographies of famous men. An insight into Greek and Roman and English History
57
is obtained in the seventh grade by means of Correlation with Reading.
A thorough course in Civil Government is taught in the ninth grade. Algebra is also begun in this grade. A compre- hensive course is given in Arithmetic, finishing in the ninth grade with a general view.
Our system, as reported in the last state report, is built upon the lines of a city system of schools. It contains all that ought to equip the pupils with a foundation upon which to build their future work.
Attendance
Our schools have always had a good record for attend- ance. I have tried with the co-operation of my teachers to maintain this record.
The average for the winter term will not reach as high a mark owing to the number of absences due to the rigorous weather, and sickness, but they will be approximated. Tardy marks are not numerous. Our aim is to insist on punctuality as a good habit to be acquired.
Truancy is very rare. At times we see evidences of pupils absent from school needlessly. This is a form of tru- ancy and an effort is made to remedy such cases when they are apparent. On the whole, however, our children deserve praise for the punctuality and regularity of attendance, and especially during inclement and cold weather.
Teachers
Our schools have a teaching corps that is well trained and experienced. Only two of the eleven teachers are in their first year of teaching. All are doing satisfactory work. They are interested in their work and in their pupils. Their co- operation has been of great assistance to me in my endeavors to direct a modern, up-to-date school.
Parents
The home and the school should work together, Teach er and parent should know each other. A better understand- ing always results after the meeting of parent and teacher.
It too often happens that the first and only time a parent meets a teacher is on the occasion of some complaint. Snch a condition should not exist. However, I am glad to say that visits by parents to our schools on complaints have been very few.
I would like to see the parents of the children visit their
58
schools more often. The regular daily work could then be seen and a knowledge of school conditions acquired.
Repairs
While recommendations under this heading will be made by the Superintendent, I beg leave to add my word to second his suggestions.
The heating plant of the Elisha Keep buildings is inade- quate and defective. During cold spells a temperature vary- ing from 40 degrees to 50 degrees is the highest obtainable. A new and different system should be installed. The result would be comfort for the pupils and teachers and a satisfac- tory return for the money expended in coal bills.
Another item I wish to comment upon is the condition of the blackboards. Eight of our eleven schoolrooms have hy- loplate blackboards. They are a poor grade of board and I would suggest their gradual elimination and the installation of slate boards.
Library
It is to be regretted that our library facilities are inade. quate. The reading of books in school ought to be supple- mented by the reading of good books at home. An effort is made to have a large list of reading matter for the grade work of the schools but reading ought not to stop there. The purpose for which Reading is taught, to open the child's mind to the treasures of knowledge, to instil a love of good reading that will remain through life and enrich the mind should be- aided by a well equipped library.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES A. RUSSELL.

Contrary to my custom in the past. I have asked the principal of our high school, the supervising principal at North Walpole, and the supervisor of drawing to send to me written reports at the close of this fiscal year. I am attach- ing these reports to mine for publication.
Referring to the report of Prin. Skinner, I wish to say that the additional equipment called for in the line of a good periodical and a French newspaper can probably be provided next year out of the regular supply appropriation. The re- organization in the agricultural and domestic arts courses should receive our consideration before the beginning of an- other school year. In these courses we are at present follow- ing the state programme but this particular part of the pro- gramme is now being revised by the department of public in- struction.
