INGALLS MEMORIAL LIBRARY.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FROM JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 1906.
There seems little for the trustees to add to the report of the librarian for the year ending December 31st, 1906. It will be necessary to again ask the town for an appropriation of three hun- dred dollars in addition to the interest on the town note, for besides our running expenses and the purchase of new books we must al- ways be ready to meet the demand for necessary repairs as the library grows older. The decrease in general circulation is to be regretted but the use of the library by the teachers and school chil- dren is most satisfactory and much to be desired.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1906.
During the year 1906, 118 volumes were added to our library by purchase and thirty-seven by gift; besides library, agricultural and forestry bulletins, and state and government reports, Mrs. Coralie Converse gave a number of interesting volumes from her private library, Mr. Stearns gave his History of Plymouth, N. H., and other books were added by Mr. Henry Woodward, of this town, and Col. G. A. Whitney of Wadena, Minn.
A list of these new books, with a special list of the reference books in the library, has been published. Anyone not receiving a list can be supplied by applying to the librarian. It will be seen
19
that, while there is plenty of good fiction, some of the most inter- esting of the new books belong to, other classes. Teachers and stu- dents, especially, have made good use of the library during the past year, the teachers taking out quite a large number of books for use in the schools. Of these books not one is ever lost, and a good work is done by the children being taught what to read, as well as how.
The museum continues to increase by gifts from people inter- ested in the Rindge library. Mrs. W. W. Emery has given an ancient Bible dictionary which is a curious illustration of old-style expression and printing.
A fine portrait of Deacon Eleazer Blake, presented by his grandsons, has been hung in the art room. Dea. Blake was a Revo- lutionary soldier and his sword and musket hang in the museum, where may also be found his discharge and other private papers.
Mr. Erastus White adds to our list of magazines "The World's Work" and the Youth's Companion for 1907 is placed upon the table in the reading room.

SCHOOL REPORT.
In presenting you the report of the past year, we feel justified in saying it has been one of prosperity.
We have had thirty weeks of school in Nos. 3, 5 primary and 5 grammar, thirty-one weeks in Nos. 6 and 8. Twenty-five weeks in No. 10. On account of most of the children being quite small in this school, we thought best not to have a winter term, but to re- serve the money for a longer term in the spring. We have had ex- cellent teachers in most of the schools, and have kept the same ones, when it was possible to do so, believing it is better for the pupils than to change teachers. We are willing to admit that we have made one or two mistakes in the selection of our teachers. A teacher may have a good education and not be able to govern or im- part knowledge to her pupils. In either case it impairs the pro- gress of the school. In looking over some of the reports of the past twenty-five years we find that other committees have had like ex- periences, so please do not criticise us too harshly. We feel that in one instance if we had not had a superintendent to direct and train the teacher, the school would have been a failure. Also if one of our teachers this past winter could have had the help of a superin- tendent (when we were without one) she would have had a much better school. All our other teachers have been very successful. In looking over the registers we find there has been a good interest shown by parents and others in visiting schools, 435 visitors in all. The lowest per cent of attendance has been at No. 8. The highest at No. 3. One school of twelve weeks shows only two tardy marks. One school of eight weeks has forty-six tardy marks. We would urge the parents to impress on the minds of the children that tardy marks are a disgrace and that absent marks are nearly as bad. The
23
schoolhouses in town, that are in use, are in pretty good repair, with the exception of No. 3, which needs shingling. We have used a little over $90 of the $100 which was appropriated for No. 8. We think the balance will need to be used there this year.
We wish we could impress on the minds of the people the ad- vantage of the grammar school and that as soon as a pupil is far enough advanced to attend such a school they should do so, for it is here that such studies are pursued that fit them for the high school, also that these same pupils are not taking the time from the smaller children in the primary schools.
Some may think we have a large balance in the treasury, but if everything at No. S had been satisfactory we should have had another week there, then there are two or three bills which did not come in as expected. If they had our balance would not have been so large.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Board of Rindge:
I submit herewith my report as superintendent of schools.
The time has been so short since I assumed my duties as su- perintendent and my opportunity for constructive work so slight that I am necessarily unable to make any extended report as to actual results accomplished. My time has been fully taken up with an examination of your school system and a special study as to its requirements. As a result of that examination, I have come to the conclusion that no town under my charge needs the services. of a superintendent more than does Rindge. The amount appropriated by the town for her schools is relatively small, her teachers receive low salaries, and to get the best results from this small outlay with the greatest economy of expenditures requires the services of a man fully competent to wrestle with the difficult problems consequently involved. In discussing this question, I realize that I lay myself open to the suspicion of seeking a selfish end. No such considera- tion, however, enters into my mind. Accordingly, in urging the advisability of employing a superintendent, I can approach the subject from the point of view of a disinterested party.
The question of whether Rindge shall continue to employ a superintendent ought to be settled solely on the ground of deter- mining what is for the best interests of the town.
The chief objection in the minds of those opposed to em- ploying a superintendent is that a superintendent costs the town of Rindge one hundred and forty dollars a year. In answer to this“ objection it may be replied that the actual length of service given by a superintendent is about ten months. Thus, the expense to the town of Rindge is approximately fourteen dollars a month, or about three dollars a week. Hence, the town of Rindge actually pays "a trained educator" who "knows what the schools really need" a
32
little over three dollars a week. In other words, the town of Rindge gives its superintendent a weekly salary of less than half the amount allowed its most poorly paid teachers. That the services of a super- intendent are worth what the town pays him is guaranteed by the payment on the part of the state of an amount equal to that paid by the town.
The argument is advanced, however, that the town could spend to better advantage the one hundred and forty dollars it now pays a superintendent by putting this amount directly into the schools. This argument is plausible ; and it is as fallacious as it is plausible. This argument is based upon the hypothesis that the town does not get results from the services of a superintendent sufficient to justify the expense of his salary. That the town has obtained such results can be proved in terms of dollars and cents.
Among the teachers in Rindge during the past year were two : one employed on the recommendation of a superintendent; the other employed when the town was without the aid of a superin- tendent. The teacher employed on the recommendation of a su- perintendent has proved herself to be worth at least five dollars a week more than the town has paid her. She has been in the service of the town thirty weeks. Thus, by this deal alone the town has made fully one hundred and fifty dollars or ten dollars more than it has paid its superintendent. The teacher employed when the town was without the aid of a superintendent turned out to be worthless. The town lost exactly forty-eight dollars on this second deal.
Again, in the matter of selecting text books the town gains by employing a superintendent. A teacher recently said: "My class in civics has improved wonderfully since we received the little book vou recommended." The cost of this book was exactly fifteen cents ; surely a good investment for the town. The town of Rindge, several years ago at a time when a superintendent was not employed wasted dollars on geographies that are not worth cents.
In conclusion, I wish to say that I have addressed myself solely to the task of refuting the arguments of those who assert that a su- perintendent does not earn the money he receives. A teacher who has taught nearly twenty years in her home town, the type of
33
teacher who least of all needs the aid of a superintendent, said to me a short time ago, "My school has improved fifty per cent since we had a superintendent."
The public school system of the United States is the pride of the nation ; and in as much as it is the duty of every true American to support this most sacred of our institutions, I believe that the sense of the citizens of Rindge will assert itself by declaring that a superintendent means better schools, better boys and girls, better men and women, better citizens, and a better country.
Respectfully submitted,
AUSTIN H. FITTZ.
