45
ing her life time, after which the entire income becomes avail- able for library purposes. No income has been received from the Peck fund as the money was received late in the year.

We have endeavored to continue the work in the grades without much variation. The new state program has compelled us to look toward the future and prepare for the new high school program coming next year. This will not affect those schools where they prepare for Bellows Falls high school.
At North Walpole and perhaps Drewsville the traditional courses will be followed until there seems to be a change de- manded by the state program of Vermont.
The changes will not be so sweeping or radical as they seemed at first. The more we endeavor to conform to new con- ditions the easier it seems. It is, at least, fitted to the develop- ing child in the critical periods of his development. The pupils in the outside rural schools in grades seven and eight should attend Walpole Village school, if they are to enter a New Hampshire high school. In the village, arithmetic will be completed and practical application and transition made with algebra and concrete geometry. The elements of science will be a part of the pupils' experience, or the reason for things which they see around them. Some work in nature study or elementary argriculture will be given the boys. Manual train- ing, sewing, and cooking will be continued as at present. As soon as the adjustment can be made to this plan, based upon modern educational ideals, we shall be better able to meet the demands of the times, and perhaps save a year or two in the school life of the child.
The work of the high school continues with the same cur- ricula as last year. The classical leading toward college pre- paration in arts courses for both boys and girls. The second, exclusively for girls, in domestic arts, while fitting for science courses in college and normal school, yet has preparation for life as the main aim. The third is for boys, and, while not. neglecting the cultural, is primarily industrial along agricul- tural lines. It fits for college in science courses and as in the second curriculums primarily for broader living.
