Many pupils, whether planning to take high school training or not, will aim to complete this course of study before leaving off attendance upon the district or town schools.


The law is also a benefit to the towns. They are no longer required to pay advanced tuition for pupils while doing preparatory work nor until qualified for high school studies.


Parents and guardians should notify the town superin- tendent of schools early in April of all students desiring to take the June examinations. Several have given notice already. Teachers who grasp the situation are interested in having their pupils thoroughly fitted for the regular high school course.


Pupils awarded tuition certificates and names of schools are given below.

Teachers' Meeting. An informal teachers' meeting was held Friday afternoon, September 13, at the home of the Superintendent. Such a meeting at the beginning of each term would be profitable and would tend to unify the schools. The new "Teachers' Manual," issued by Superin- tendent Stone was discussed. Reading and writing were studies selected for special attention, also exercise in ex- pression, both written and oral. It is pleasing to note marked improvement made by individual pupils and by some of the classes.


Text Books. Few of the worn-out text books reported


28


last year have been exchanged. The, demand has been along other lines mainly. Only such books as were needed for immediate use in classes have been purchased. New spellers, better adapted to our grade of work, have replaced part of the old ones and have supplied some classes. They are much liked and other useless spellers should be ex- changed for the same "Word List."


Sets of arithmetics which furnish much rapid drill prac- tice have been tried in two classes with encouraging results. In exchanging our worn-out arithmetics, such a book should be provided. It costs no more than one lacking in material for this rapid practice work.


Maps, Globes, etc. A set of substantial maps has been supplied to pass around to schools when called for. These, with the outline maps, (which latter are not generally ap- preciated) furnish an ample supply and should last for years by adding, from time to time, a world and a United States map. It is good to find teachers using maps and globes, not only in geography class but in history, reading, language or wherever places, peoples, or products are named.


Newfane furnishes good text books and materials. The teachers aim to make the best possible use of them.


The Eye and Ear Test which is made annually in Sep- tember for all pupils over 7 years of age showed the fol- lowing results :-


Number of pupils examined, 86


Number of pupils found defective, 26


Per cent of defectives, 30


Of the boys 25 per cent had defective eyes.


Of the girls 35 per cent had defective eyes.


Only one case of defective hearing was found.


Attendance. While the interest in perfect attendance is more general than formerly, there are still cases where pupils


29


are kept out of school for most trivial reasons. This is not as it should be. Every child is entitled to full attendance at school until fifteen years of age and longer if he desires. Only those who are mentally or physically unable to take the school work are excepted by law from regular attend- ance. The change of pupils from one school or town to an- other during a term is also prohibited. It is a great detri- ment to the pupil and the school. Wherever the term is begun, it is required to be completed.


Problems. Many problems are presented to the school directors for consideration during the year. Perhaps it would be well for all to share them


The first and greatest problem, they tell me, is the matter of expense which, in spite of effort to keep it down, insists upon rising to a high figure, even though no repairs except for general wear and tear are made, and no extras pur- chased. Under the new law, however, approximately $300 has been paid back by the state, (see treasurer's report) for advanced tuition and transportation money expended. This amount may be deducted from the $2,715.60 given in sum- mary and totals as school expense to arrive at the exact amount.


The transportation question is a somewhat trying one because it is expensive and because the service provided by the town is not always understood and appreciated. Under the law providing transportation, pupils may assemble at some convenient place to be called for by the school con- veyance. Patrons are fortunate indeed, if the route of the conveyance runs past their door, for all parents expect to have a degree of responsibility about sending their children to school.


Then there is the question of vacated school buildings. Are they to be sold, or kept repaired and protected as if belonging to the individual? Neglected buildings soon decrease in value.


30


The directors have been notified by the board of health that two story buildings with a room above for public meetings are required to be provided with fire escapes. This applies to the Williamsille and Newfane buildings and should not be unreasonably expensive.


Recommendations. First. That the Parish schoolroom be made presentable and wholesome by patching the plas- tering and supplying a coat of paint and kalsomine.


Second. That the fences at No. 1 and No. 3 schools be neatly repaired or removed.


Third. That modern methods of heating and ventilating school rooms, as explained by Dr. H. D. Holton, secretary of the state board of health, in the new "Teachers' Manual," be investigated and put into use where necessary. The stove at Williamsville, years ago condemned, has been re- paired and put into service again but should be replaced by another in the near future.


In Conclusion. I wish to thank the school directors and teachers for their earnest cooperation and cordial support in the work of school supervision, and to express to patrons and pupils appreciation of every effort to secure regularity of attendance and thoroughness in class work.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGIE M. LOVE.
