Report of School Superintendent.
The Superintendent of Schools for the town of New- fane in compliance with Sec. 620 of Chap. 33 of the Ver- mont Statutes, herewith respectfully submits the annual report.
Seven schools of thirty weeks each have been main- tained. Two of these schools, the same as last year, have been union schools. The school year has been di- vided into three terms of ten weeks each. To afford time for painting and repairs on the buildings, however, the fall term of District No. 4 and of Newfane school was shortened one week. The teacher for the fall term at South Newfane desiring release to accept a position in another state, that term in this school was also shortened one week. To supply this shortage the winter term in each of these schools has been lengthened one week.
Eleven different teachers, all holding regular certifi- cates, have been employed during the year. No applica- tion for permit has been made.
Not many new books have been required. The su- perintendent, after consulting the directors, has however, ordered eighteen Frye's Grammar School Geographies, a
21
work offering some improvements over the Frye's Com- plete Geography, and one dozen copies of Mother Tongue No II. More of these books might now be profitably in- troduced.
The vertical system of writing is in vogue in the schools. Some, if not all, of the teachers find that among the smaller scholars better results are obtained by this method than were possible under the old slant meth- od. This method, however, is being discarded in the public schools in several states. It gives rather too little individuality in hand, and business men find it too slow. The superintendent would recommend the introduction of the medial system. This system in good measure promises to relieve the disadvantage of both the vertical and the slant.
Our teachers all labor under considerable disadvant- age. In all our schools the number of classes is neces- sarily too great. In one or two of the larger schools the embarrassment arising from this cause is considerable. There is imperative need of one good graded school in the town where pupils can pursue more advanced studies than it is possible to give in the present ungraded schools. This would not only save our more advanced scholars to the town for two or three years longer, but it would also discourage others who drop out of school altogether at an early age and with an entirely inadequate foundation in knowledge to continue their studies for a few years. Such a result would be of great importance to the intelligent good citizenship of the town, and would tend also to the maintenance or even growth of the pop- ulation. Every effort and expense for the wise improve-
22
ment of our school system is in promotion of the growth and prosperity of the town. Retrenchment means de- preciated property and stagnation of life.
The superintendent invites a more earnest interest on the part of the parents and guardians in the work of the school. In some of the schools the attendance has been deplorably irregular. Sickness and other necessary detentions may account for part of this, but these causes are not sufficient to account for all. A mere unwilling- ness on the part of a scholar to attend school should never be considered a sufficient reason for keeping him away ; nor should the term's work be frequently broken by the desire of the parent to get the advantage of his child's work at home. A large part of the benefit of the schoool is lost by the pupil through frequent interrup- tions, and the work of the class and the teachers is also embarrassed. Further the opportunities for early foun- dations in knowledge come but once, and in these days of widely disseminated knowledge, the boy or girl who is robbed of these opportunities must remain forever at a disadvantage.
A better supervision of schools than what has been possible for the past year is essential. Either a capable person with sufficient leisure to form and execute sys- tematic plans of supervision should be found, or the town should make an effort to combine with a sufficient num- ber of adjoining towns in the support of a common su- perintendent, whose whole time would be devoted to the work.
The superintendent wishes to call attention to var- ious improvements made by the directors upon school
23
property. New clocks have been purchased for most of the schools. The interior of the school house at No. 4 has been painted, and the outside of the buildings at Newfane, Rand Crossing, South Newfane, Brookside and the Parish have been painted. Through the generosity of one of her citizens South Newfane school house has been provided with a bell. The residents of South New- fane have provided by their contributions the belfry.
I have the honor of subscribing myself,
Respectfully yours, GEORGE M. BURDICK.
