SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
June 23, 1917.
To the School Board of Jericho: -
Herewith is submitted my fourth annual report, it being also your eight since this town went under union supervision. There has been maintained during the year a High School for 36 weeks and 10 schools for 34 weeks.
We have been able to hold the same teachers throughout the year in all of our schools and the year has been one of steady progress. The teachers have certainly done commendable work. The teachers for the past year have been as follows; showing-training, experience and the length of service in our schools:

It will be seen from the above that 12 different teachers have been employed in town during the past year, and also that they have had good training or teachers of long experience. The teachers for next year will be the same with the exception of two.
Buildings and Equipment.
All the school houses are in good condition. There have been two school houses painted during the last year. We have changed from the old Dodge Geog. to the the new Tarr and McMurry Geographies. I believe that this will prove very beneficial. It will take some time for them to work in as the text is more in a story form than the old ones and it necessitates the pupil getting the main fact for himself. The illustrations are also very good. I hope that the next change will be in Arithmetics. There have been quite a number of com- plaints in respect to them. The Stone and Millis are working in very nicely in Richmond and the teachers
are well pleased with them.

The above shows a total enrollment of 208; aver- age daily attendance of 179.1; the average per cent of attendance for the whole year of all the pupils 94.2; the number of tardiness was 339; total number of vis- its by parents 122. On comparing this record with last year's I find that the enrollment has dropped off 33 members, and 210 less cases of tardiness, the average per cent of perfect attendance is 7 tenths higher. This certainly is a fine record and the town has reason to be proud of it. The following pupils have not had an ab- sent mark against their name for the whole year: Ken- dal Chapin, Virginia Hoskins, Marion Nichols, Mabel
Schillhammer, Evelyn Styles, Lena Wilder, Esma Wis- sell, Vera Pettingill, Evelyn Davis, Harold Pettingill, and Orval Montage. This is a very long list; let us see if we can have some more pupils that are doing their best
Organization.
We have maintained during the year in all the schools, nine grades. This record will show the pupils age and the grade that they are in:

The black line drawn diagonally shows where the pupils would be if he entered at the age of six and made his grade each year, so that he would graduate from High School at the age of 18. This shows also the pu .. pils that are retarded and those that are in advance of what they would be according to their age. If you were to draw the average line it would follow along the up-
per side of the normal line and then cross it at the first year in the High School; it is the fartherest away at the fifth grade.
A' banking system was started on the 22nd day of January, making it possible for the children to bring their pennies to school and when they had deposited a dollar's worth they were given a pass book the same as a regular depositor. The children have done admirably along this line. The amount that the different teach- ers have deposited is as follows:
Miss Helen Bolger, $15.00; Miss Dessa Bolger, $14.34; Mrs. Perry, $12.46; Miss Adrien, $11.48; Mrs. Rice, $1.00; Miss Barrett, $0.22; Miss Hopkins, $4.14; Miss Pratt, $23.06; Miss Keefe, $10.00. The total of all the children in town is $91.70 and the total of all the children in my union is $441.49. It certainly is surpris- ing what the pennies amount to.
Our course of study has not been revised by the State Board of Education as yet. They have inserted into our course of study the subject of Agriculture to be given in a practical way in all the grades to all the pu- pils. It was thought that there was an education to be obtained from the earth and that the country was fast coming to that state of affairs when the food supply was roing to be short for our own people and that everyone should have all the education that is possible in Agri- culture. Consequently we have taken up to gardening and the potato and bean project. The children have re- sponded very eagerly with this. There has been 168 pledges signed in town to take up the work, and about 450 in my union. This means that there is a lot of work to be done to keep up the interest to see that these gard- ens are taken care of. They are all planted now and I seek the cooperation of the parents to help Mr. Malon-
ey and me out, now that the schools are not in session so that the teachers cannot follow up the good work that they have started. This has meant a whole lot for the teachers to do; but they have taken it up and work- ed faithfully with it. Here is a good chance to show patriotism; be sure and help all you can.

High School.
The enrollment of the High School has increased from 30 to 45 this year. Only four have dropped out; two because of sickness and two to take up other work.
Your High School is doing fine work and every in- dication is that your graduates are making good on following up their education. We had a large graduat- ing class and also another remarkable thing was that there was so many of them boys. Jericho is certainly 10 be congratulated in the two teachers that she has for her High School, and also the fact that they are to re- main next year.
General.
The average cost for the teachers for the year has been $11.81 per week, including all the teachers. There is some rebate from the state so this will be reduced some. The average cost of supplies per pupil for the year was $0.824.
The work of the school year has been carried out diligently by all, and I am sure all have done the best that they knew how.
I wish to thank the teachers, School Board and par- ents for the support they have given me. I only hope that all that tends for the betterment of the schools will continue and the schools of Jericho will be looked upon by all as evidence of perfect efficiency.
Respectively submitted,
H. S. READ, Superintendent of Schools.

TOWN LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
During the year 1917 the Town library has been open at the Center, on Wednesday afternoons, as dur- ing the preceding year. The usual number of volumns has been located at the Corner, in the care of Mrs. W. S. Woodruff.
There was a meeting of the trustees in March at
the library at the Center. Some books were exchang- ed then, and others in July, and it is reported that they are very well patronized, but that they are now wanting new ones.
During the summer, about 80 vols. were transfer- red from the Center division to Riverside, by ladies who came over for that purpose, and were placed in the care of Mrs. Lewis McGibbon. She reports that the people are much pleased to have the books again, and that they are now asking for new ones.
There is also a branch at the South district under the care of the teacher, Miss Pratt.
Under the management of the trustees, the library raised by general subscriptions throughout the town about $69.00 for the War Library Fund.
If the books are to be kept in good repairs, more money will have to be expended than formerly, as book binding as well as books, has much increased in price.
Respectfully submitted,
JENNIE W. HART, Librarian.
The trustees are as follows according to date of ap- pointment: Mrs. J. W. Hart, S. H. Barnum, Mrs. Mary Hale, L. C. Stevens and F. S. Tomlinson.

CELEBRATION COMMITTEE'S FINAL REPORT.
Since our report one year ago all bills incurred for printing and distributing the History of Jericho have been paid, to the Free Press Printing Association $1,- 665.00 and to all other sources $77.72, the latter to the editors and members of the committee on distribution for postage, stationery and printing, etc., necessarily incurred in the collection of the material for the Hist- ory, the advertising of the same, and the final distribu- tion. No money has been paid for services rendered by the editors or other committees. During the year the committee has, in accordance with the vote of one year ago, received from the town $350.00, which was duly applied on the account with the Free Press Printing Co. The balance of receipts over payments $5.82, is hereby turned over to E. B. Jordan, Town Clerk, $24.50 of bills uncollected also. The balance of the edition, 210 His- tories, is also committed to his custody. It is the un-
derstanding of Celebration Committee if the town ap- proved that the Town Clerk of Jericho, Vt., shall be the perpetual custodian of this edition of the History of Jericho, that he provide for their safe keeping, sell copies of the same when called for, and make annual re- ports to the Town and annually pay to the Treasurer of Jericho such funds as may have accumulated dur- ing the year.
