ANNUAL REPORT OF
February 5, 1941
To the Citizens of Castleton:
A summary of the educational progress in your schools during the past six years pays tribute to the untiring efforts of Supt. Winn L. Taplin, who relinquished his duties here to serve in the same work at Bennington, Vermont.
An effort should be made to retain all important practices that have shown good results in school improvements, methods, and objectives during the past years, and to strive for continued develop- ment by maintaining our schools according to acceptable standards.
The State Department of Education has forwarded to your Town Treasurer, the sum of $4,325.83 in state aid for the school year ending, June 30, 1940. The purpose of our system of state aid is to help equalize educational opportunities for our children in all parts of Vermont and to assist schools in reaching and keeping up to the minimum qualifications of good current practice in education. Preferential purposes for the local expenditure of state aid include rural teachers' salaries, advanced instruction, transportation and supervision, as well as the improvement of school buildings and vo- cational education.
When schools opened in September it was expected that there would be enough pupils attending Pencil Mill School to assure main- taining it in session for the year. The enrollment dropped to four by the first week in November and so the school was closed and the teacher and scholars transferred to the Hydeville School. This adjustment linked up well with the Hydeville situation, because of the surplus pupils going there from the over-crowded Corners and Meadowbrook Schools.
Standardization work is being done by a W.P.A. project at the Corners School to construct a basement, with a place for community and school activities; kitchen space; furnace and fuel room; water and pump room; additional classroom area; and new toilet facili- ties. The P.T.A. and building committee are active in carrying out the project, with considerable financial aid coming from that source. The school grounds will be further landscaped with material from the excavation. The P.T.A. has sponsored hot lunches, an eye and dental clinic, and the usual seasonal events.
At the Hydeville School, the grades were divided into divisions 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8. The vacant room was repaired to meet classroom needs. There is still the problem of equipping the school with fire escapes and some means should be found to do this. The Parent-Teacher Club has furnished hot lunches; sponsored an eye
59
TOWN OF CASTLETON
clinic and corrections; and conducted various programs.
The Meadowbrook School has benefited from a very active P.T.A. They have sponsored several things, including school lunches, wel- fare, and a lively program for the year. Since this school is used as a demonstration school, the enrollment has been kept at 30 pupils. An average of 8 pupils have been going to Hydeville to re- duce the overcrowded condition at Meadowbrook. Minor repairs and some equipment are needed at this school.
Future adjustments at the Village Sshool should include mak- ing use of basement space for a room where school lunches could be served. The room could be used for meetings and for classes in special activities and would be located conveniently near the pre- sent kitchen. The office has been equipped with furniture, paid for from the teachers' fund. Special donations have been the means cf supplying the kitchen with equipment and furnishing supplies to go with the surplus commodities for hot lunches. Some repairs to the basement should be done this year.
At the North Breton School, a "bee" was held to decorate and rearrange the basement to that the hot lunch program could be carried out. The Community Club has sponsored a share in this. The furnace has been over-hauled and repaired with good results. Other minor repairs, and some equipment, are needed at this school.
The enrollment at West Castleton has remained constant. Some repairs to the furnace and building are needed.
Surplus commodities have been available to all schools for carrying out lunch programs. Hot lunch workers have been help- ing at four of the schools, where suitable equipment was on hand to meet requirements. The program has been enlarged to serve a definite purpose in the matter of school health, good habits, and group responsibility. The local sponsors furnish one-fourth and federal sources three-fourths of the supplies.
The playground apparatus at all of the schools needs repair- ing and replacement. A saving will be realized if this can be done before further depreciation results.
Under the guidance of the district music supervisor, Mrs. Alice H. Nichols, music has continued to be an important part of the school experience of each pupil. All grades and rural schools have had note reading, ear training, eye training, rhythm rotation, and music vocabulary. In addition to this there has been a program of music appreciation, presentation of operettas, and participation of
60
ANNUAL REPORT OF
pupils at various functions during each year. The Corners School gave a broadcast of Christmas Carols over Station W.S.Y.B. Each teacher aids in carrying out a helpful program in music as courses: are outlined and integrated by the supervisor.
Standard tests are being given in all of the schools as a mea- sure of their efficiency and as a means of adjusting routine educa- tional practices.
Reference to accompanying tables reveals the financial condi- tion of our school, average costs, receipts, and enrollments. To continue at present standards a tax rate of $1.65 is recommended ..
We appreciate the respective help that the teachers, parents, and various individuals and groups have rendered during the year in the interests of our schools.
Respectfully submitted, MRS. KATHERYN T. BURKE. MRS. STELLA B. HART, JOHN W. REIL, School Directors.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF LIBRARY
This year the same plan as last year was continued, opening the library on Tuesday and Friday afternoons and evenings in the warm weather and in cold weather, on Friday and Saturday.
The work of cataloging and rearranging the books has been carried on with the help of Josephine Graziano last spring and of I.ouise Daniels this winter. These were paid from federal funds.
The trustees of the library wish to express their appreciation of the gift of $100.00 from the estate of the late Eliza Griswold. This has been placed in the Allen Bank with other trust fund's. The interest from these trust funds has been very useful this year as there were unusual expenses-repairs to the furnace and to the roof, and a very thorough cleaning. It would have been difficult to have met these obligations without the interest from the trust funds and the balance carried over last year.
It was also necessary to pay two insurance premiums for three years.
The patrons of the library as well as the trustees are grateful to our good friends who contribute books and especially to Mr. Alexander Woollcott for his very generous contributions of books and for the magazines which he gave us for three years.
Now, many people enjoy the reading room section and we feel sure that more people in town would find pleasure in their public library if they visited it more often.
The librarian is glad to borrow books from the Book Wagon if there are requests for books not found on the shelves.
The pupils of the Village School have had the benefit of a story hour conducted by the Normal School students on Friday afternoons.
The children's books are in great demand. Gifts of books for children and young people are always welcomed.

Every book in the Library has been counted and catalogued during the past year. Some obsolete and worn out volumes have been discarded. Many new books have been added thru the kind- ness of Mr. Woollcott and a few other friends. Soon the books will be arranged in the shelves in their proper order and the new catalogue will be complete.
In addition to the books added to the collection by gift, the trustees have spent twelve dollars for childrens' books and bought a set of twelve volumes called the Smithsonion Scientific Series.
Stories have been told the children by the students of the Normal School on fourteen' afternoons of the past winter.

TOWN OF CASTLETON
REPORT OF AUDITORS
We have examined the accounts of the various Town Officers with the Treasurer and found them correct with a few minor adjust- ments.
We wish to make the following suggestions: (1) That the Town Manager System be continued. We feel that it would be im- possible for any board of selectmen to spend the time now necessary to properly handle the town affairs. This in our opinion requires a full time man who has been trained for this type of work. (2) That town vote to use delinquent taxes to pay the required $3,000 on bonded debt as well as for payment of interest on such bonds and also interest on temporary loans.
We feel that the credit for the bonding of our Town debt which saves the Town about $1000 yearly in interest charges, should be given to the Town Manager System. (3) That the voters act favor- ably on article in the Warning regarding holding the annual School District meeting separate from the March Town meeting.
We wish to express our appreciation to the various town offi- cials for their cooperation in assisting us in compiling this report.
