TOWN OF MONKTON ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Directors and Citizens of Monkton:
In submitting my annual report as Superintendent of the Monkton Schools for the year ending December 31, 1951, I offer first certain statistical data from the records of the 1950-51 school year and also as of the opening of school in September of 1951.
For the school year 1950-51 the Average Daily Atten- dance of Elementary Pupils in the Monkton Schools was 78.1 and during the same year 19 different pupils from Monkton attended various high schools in this area. The average per pupil cost for elementary pupils was $213.83; for high school tuition pupils the cost was $155.66 per pupil. The relatively high per pupil cost for elementary pupils during the year 1950-51 can be accounted for by several factors. The prin- cipal ones were the reduction in the total number of pupils in town after the school year was opened with five schools in operation and the second was the special transportation re- quired for several months due to the hurricane damage at the Morgan School.
This year we are operating only four schools. The en- rollment at Kaolin Hill and Morgan decreased to the point where the two groups could easily be accommodated at Morgan with a relatively small amount of transportation. Two of last year's teachers left our employ and one new teacher, Mrs. Cora Rock of Bristol, was added to our staff
37
this year. Mrs. Evadne Cox, after one year at the Boro School, took over the combined Kaolin Hill and Morgan groups at the latter school.
The September 1951 enrollment of the Monkton schools was as follows: By schools - Boro, 22; Dartt, 13; Morgan, 18; Ridge, 27; Total 80. By grades - Grade 1, 13; Grade 2, 8; Grade 3, 9; Grade 4, 16; Grade 5, 11; Grade 6, 9; Grade 7, 6; Grade 8, 8; Total 80. This is the lowest September enroll- ment in the Monkton schools for a number of years but experience has shown that this is not necessarily of any trend as school population in Monkton has fluctuated greatly from year to year and even within a given school year.
Regardless of the size of our school enrollment, I believe that the importance of regular attendance should be pointed out to parents of children in school. Illness and quarantine are legal reasons for absence from school; beyond these there should be few reasons for irregular attendance. The educational success or failure of pupils is frequently trace- able directly to the regularity of their attendance in school. Furthermore, the most important basis of state aid to our local schools is the average daily attendance of our pupils For this reason it is good business to have our children in school every possible day, as absences will decrease our state aid. We anticipate the cooperation of all parents in this im- portant matter.
In an earlier report I pointed out the disadvantages to the education of our children of having from 20 to 30 pupils in all eight grades taught by one teacher. There are just too many things to be done in each day to permit the teacher to do the kind of teaching job the child- ren deserve. Many towns are now working out plans where by' transporting a relatively small number of pupils from one school to another, and bringing back an approximately
38
equal number from the first school, the number of grades in both schools is reduced and the instruction improv- ed. I believe that the time has come when Monkton should give further consideration some plan of this kind. Per- haps it cannot yet be done for the entire town, but possibly a start could be made in the larger schools at the Boro and Ridge.
I close this report with a sincere expression of gratitude for the cooperation and assistance of all who have worked with me during the past year in the Monkton schools.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SERVICE
Until July 1, 1951, the Public Health Nurses of the Ver- mont Department of Health provided services in about 88 Vermont towns, each of which yearly contributed a sum toward the program's support. This was the only Health Department program not state wide; more than 135 towns had no generalized state nursing service.
Beginning July 1, 1951, the area of each nurse was ex- tended to include all towns. Town contributions are no longer required; state and federal tax funds are equitably distributed ; services are generalized and include duties for- merly undertaken by specialized tuberculosis nurses ; increas- ing emphasis is placed on prevention of disease and finding situations needing correction; great stress is placed on citizen participation through local health councils and others in all phases of community health.
Your Health Department does not have money available to correct the physical needs of those in your town who can- not afford treatment. The Department urges your serious consideration of a town appropriation for this purpose, suit- able to your local needs, to be expended under the auspices of your local health authorities or council.

VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE Montpelier, Vermont
This is our sixteenth annual report to the citizens of the Town of Monkton, on State payments in your municipality of various types of assistance and welfare during 1951.
The total number of recipients in the State has declined, but expenditures are larger by reason of increases in the legal monthly maximums authorized by the 1951 Legislature. Funds for the support of these programs were derived from the Federal Government 57.5%, State Government 37.6% and Town or City 4.9%. Total administrative expenses for the four types of Public Assistance were 4.2% and for all programs and services 6.5%, giving Vermont top ranking in the nation for low cost. In Vermont one in six persons over sixty-five receive Old Age Assistance and one in fifty chil- dren under the age of eighteen receive Aid to Dependent Children.
None of the assistance programs are pensions. They are
1
44
paid on the basis of need and in accordance with policies and procedures established under law. Children and parents, in proportion to their ability, have legal as well as moral obli- gations under the Statutes.
