ANNUAL REPORT
school hampered to such an extent that we shall not be doing for our young people the minimum that New England youth has a right to expect. We shall have an enrollment next year of approximately 535 students and the following year of nearly or quite 600 to be cared for in a building that can accommodate only fairly well 400. Of course this is out of the question and additional rooms must be provided or we shall be compelled to run two separate sessions each day, forenoons for one group of students and afternoons for the other group. This can be done as a temporary expedient, but I suspect the people of Rutland will not long care to submit to the inconvenience of it. This matter I commend to your careful consideration."
If the citizens of Rutland plan to give their children as good an education as any child anywhere can get it will be necessary to provide in the very near future an up-to-date high school building large enough to accommodate all the pupils of the city from the sixth grade up.
TEACHERS
We are fortunate in having a large number of devoted, hard-working and capable teachers. If parents would spend a day in a school room they would be filled with wonder at the amount that can be accomplished under the conditions pre- vailing in the class room. It would be easy to prove that no class of public servants, the country over, renders a greater service for the amount paid them than the public school teachers.
In the final analysis we have good schools if we have good teachers and we have poor schools if the teachers are not properly trained and professionally minded. The public has an interest in securing the services of the best men and women in the teaching profession that transcends the immediate needs of any group of teachers.
- We have been in the habit of thinking of better salaries and better teaching conditions as a matter that effects the teachers only. A little reflection will disabuse the dullest mind of this
169
CITY OF RUTLAND
mischievous error. We need to pay adequate salaries and create good teaching conditions because the interests of children de- mand it. Any parent understands that the teacher exerts a powerful influence on the children under her charge. She can make or mar the future of the child. When we reflect that an individuals earning capacity and consequently their buying capacity depend on the adequacy and thoroughness of their training it is easy to see that the general public, the tax paying public has a vital interest in securing the best men and women as teachers of the children of the community.
It is recognized throughout the country that teacher training is a matter of the utmost importance. Nearly all city schools de- mand a two year professional training above the high school and about two years' experience for all teachers entering their schools. The City of Rutland has, therefore, a keen interest in having the State of Vermont adopt a teacher training system that will produce a constant supply of well trained teachers.
The further training of teachers in the service is a matter second only in importance to the training of new entrants. A number of our teachers have attended summer schools at various institutions during recent years. A teacher probably ought to take some advance work as often as once in three years. Our salary schedule should provide for a pecuniary reward for ad- vance training above the minimum of two years after high school graduation.
TEACHING LOAD
Elementary Schools
The total number of pupils divided by the number of teachers gives the teaching load.
261 cities in the United States have a teaching load of 31-32. 242 cities in the United States have a teaching load of 33-34. Rutland elementary schools have a teaching load of 38.
Rutland has twenty rooms with a teaching load of 40.
170
ANNUAL REPORT
This condition must be remedied by the employment of additional teachers, not primarily to lessen the load of the teachers but because the interests of the children require it. The Board of School Commissioners will probably find it possible next year to add three teachers to the force for elementary schools. The teaching load would then be 35 plus. Further additions to the elementary teaching force will be impossible without additional rooms.
In the Rutland High School conditions are somewhat worse. The average teaching load for all high schools in the
United States is 20.3
The average teaching load for Rutland High School .. 27 plus Assuming the addition of 11/2 teachers and a probable enrollment of 535 in Sept., 1922, the load will be . . 28 A conservative estimate of the high school enrollment
in September, 1923, is 600. The load for the teach- . 31 plus ing force of the school year 1922-23 would be .
This situation would constitute such a grave injustice to the children of our high school that parents should not tolerate it.
Assume that we were willing to have our classes five larger than the average for the United States we would need twenty- four (24) teachers in the high school in September, 1923.
A teaching load of 25 is regarded as the "dead line" for high school classes. If we have twenty-four teachers in Septem- ber, 1923, the teaching load would be 26.
It should be borne in mind that the increase in high school enrollment realized and anticipated in Rutland is in no way unique. There has been an enormous increase in high school registration all over the country. The increase from 1890 to 1918 was over 800 per cent. A new high school has been opened every day for over twenty-eight years. The increase in high school enrollment during the last three or four years has been little short of phenomenal.
The "teaching load" for all high schools in the United States decreased from 25.5 in 1900 to 20.3 in 1918. This means
171
CITY OF RUTLAND
that more effective and intensive work can be done for and by the pupils. The "teaching load" in Rutland means that we are putting a handicap on our boys and girls when they enter into competition with those who graduate from high schools where conditions are more favorable.
Unfortunately the solution of our problem is not as easy as the addition of teachers would seem to indicate. We cannot solve our high school problem by the addition of teachers be- cause we have reached the limit of the capacity of the present plant, in fact we have far exceeded it.
EVENING SCHOOL
The Rutland Woman's Club has conducted an Evening School for a number of years with a high degree of success. It would be difficult to commend too highly the important commu- nity service rendered by this club. The time has now come when the Board of School Commissioners, acting for the City of Rut- land, should assume full responsibility for this necessary activity. We should offer, in addition to the elementary subjects now taught, commercial subjects, mechanical drawing and any other subject in which there is a minimun enrollment of ten. The value to the community of further education of those who, be- cause of economic or other conditions, were forced to leave school at an early age is too well known to need argument. It is at once a solemn duty and a sound investment.
Section 1236 of the General Laws of the State of Vermont relating to Department of Education reads :
"A town district may maintain one or more evening schools for persons above the compulsory school age, and such schools shall be considered public schools."
SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY NURSE
Every well conceived system of education gives an important place to its health program. A committee of the National
172
ANNUAL REPORT
Education Association has laid down seven main objectives of education, placing health at the head of the list declaring that it is of basic importance.
One of the chief causes of retarded pupils is absence from school caused largely by sickness. There are three hundred or more pupils in the schools of Rutland that are over age and have been retarded in their school progress. A little reflection will show any person that it is bad financial policy to teach pupils over a second time. It takes the full time of eight teachers to teach the pupils who have been over the grade once before and at a cost of over $8,000.
A School and Community Nurse of the efficiency of the one now in service in Rutland eliminates a considerable percentage of retardation because she prevents to a large extent the spread of the contagious diseases so common during childhood.
For three years or more the local Red Cross has furnished most of the funds for this service but are unable to continue. financial support much longer. This field of community service should be taken over by the Board of School Commissioners and given proper support out of the general funds at their disposal.
Chapter 64 of the General Laws of the State of Vermont relating to Department of Education gives ample authority for such action.
RECREATION AND ATHLETICS
Parents all over the country are coming to realize the im- portance of recreation in the proper development of our boys and girls. The most progressive communities are employing a corps of well trained men and women directors of physical education.
The principals and teachers of our schools have attempted to meet the needs of the children under their charge in this respect but it is out of the question to expect the regular teachers to carry on all the necessary recreational work. Mr. O'Brien in the high school and many other teachers have rendered valu-
173
CITY OF RUTLAND
able service in this field. Mr. O'Brien in his report on Athletics to me says : "The importance of athletics in the school curriculum cannot be over-estimated. The rules and regulations which students evolve out of competitive athletics are certainly much more important to them and perhaps more influential upon them than the rules and discipline of their parents and teachers. The highest encomium that can be conferred upon a boy by his fellows is that of 'good sport'. It means a boy of character, persistence, honor and reliability who is just and fair himself and expects his associates to reciprocate."
Mr. O'Brien might have included other forms of recreation with "competitive athletics" and had his remarks still true. The City of Rutland should take to heart Mr. O'Brien's state- ment regarding the need of a high school with a proper gymnasium.
Any person at all conversant with the facts of the case will understand that the play ground and athletic field are potent factors in the development of the physical, mental and moral vigor of young folks.
The employment of one man and one woman, properly trained, to direct our recreational activities is the aim of all forward looking citizens. It should be understood that the employment of such persons would in no way infringe upon the field already occupied by other agencies. We are not likely to overdo the matter of physical training.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion I wish to express to the Board of School Commissioners, the several faculties of our schools and other employees of the public schools, my appreciation of the hearty co-operation they have accorded me on every occasion.
It is also my desire to express the belief that the citizens of Rutland demand the best possible conditions for their children in our schools and that they are willing to pay the necessary cost. With the support already manifest it will be possible to make the schools of Rutland not only the best in Vermont but second to none of their class anywhere. We ought to be satisfied with nothing less.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM W. FAIRCHILD, Superintendent of Schools.

ANNUAL REPORT
Auditor's Report
To the Honorable City Council :
We have examined the books and accounts of the City Treasurer, City Clerk, Overseer of Poor, Superintendent of Schools, and Sinking Fund Commissioners, and find they have duly accounted for all moneys received by them and that they have proper vouchers for all moneys expended.
We find the records of disbursements as shown by the City Clerk and Superintendent of Schools agree with the entries on the City Treasurer's books.
We have checked the cash, and verified the notes, bonds, deposit books and securities in the hands of the City Treasurer and Sinking Fund Commissioners and found them to be in agreement with the books.
The various books and records in all departments were found in good order, and vouchers for all disbursements were produced.
The Treasurer's book shows a balance of the uncollected taxes as follows: in the hands of Henry R. Adams, for the years 1904-1918, inc., $949.31; in the hands of John E. Barrett, $7,464.26, divided as follows: 1919, $1,402.44; 1920, $2,466.34; 1921, $3,595.48.
