Thetford, Vt., February 15, 1902.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Fellow Citizens :
The eleven schools in town opened in the spring of 1901, with about one hundred and eighty pu- pils registered. The various districts ranged from eight to thirty-six in number. Two pupils from South Fairlee attended school at North Thetford, and in the Judd district, six came from Strafford.
The thirty-three terms of school have been taught by nineteen teachers, ladies were employed, with the exception of six terms. Right here I want to emphasize the importance of hiring teachers for the year, when he or she is known to be a good one. For teachers to get the best work from pupils, they must know to some extent, the capabilities of the children, and the thoroughness of their previous work. Where teachers are changed each term much time is necessarily lost in finding out just where the pupils are as to their studies. Where a teacher is hired for a series of terms there is practically no loss of time, for teacher and pupils know

what to expect, and at the opening of each term, the thread is picked up just where it was dropped at the close of the preceding term.
The examination required, in order to gain entrance to the Academy, was given in June. Twenty-four took this examination, representing five districts, only five passed the examination satisfactorily, and four of these five had partial certificates from previous examinations.
The schools, on the whole, have been very good throughout the year, in one or two cases, government was lacking, but this was remedied in due time.
Nearly every teacher employed has been a graduate from an Academy or Normal school, in one case a College graduate was employed.
In closing, I would urge parents to visit the schools oftener for it gives encouragement to both teacher and pupils. Such visits might many times save unpleasant duties on the part of our School Directors. Parents must remember that a teacher has a good many disposi- tions to handle, and that a lack of sympathy on the part of parents, may make a vast difference in the suc- cess of her undertaking.
Respectfully submitted,
H. C. SANBORN, Superintendent.
