REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER FOR 1913
JANUARY 29, 1914.
The health of the town has been very good during the past year.
There have been no cases of Typhoid Fever and the sever- al epidemics of Measles, Whooping Cough and Chicken Pox have been quickly checked. The one case of Infantile Paraly- sis was not reported until after the case was over.
The war on flies was more or less successful. Outdoor fly traps early in the season to catch the big blow flies would if care- fully used reduce this nuisance very noticeably.
The condition of the outhouses at the school houses in very few cases comply with the requirements of the law and are a serious menace to the health and morals of our children and should be remedied at once.
The School Directors in your District should be given no rest until the conditions are remedied and if necessary the State Board are ready to condemn the houses and close the schools until these matters receive attention.
Respectfully submitted,
L. B. ALLEN, Health Officer.

34 SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Directors and Citizens of Thetford;
Herewith is presented my fourth annual report as superin- tendent of the schools of Thetford.
Ten schools have been maintained for a period of thirty weeks or, to conform to a law passed at the last session of the General Assembly, one hundred fifty days. My books show the present registration to be 178 attending the different schools as follows :

We have been very fortunate in regard to having our schools interrupted because of sickness. In some sections of the state contagious diseases have seriously interfered with school attend- ence. The school at Union Village was closed three weeks ear- lier in the winter than had been planned on account of several cases of measles. The spring term began correspondingly ear- lier. Except for this instance no irregularity was occasioned by epidemics. No teacher could be found to begin the winter term
35
at Rice's Mills until two weeks after the others had begun. A teacher was not secured for the spring term until the other schools had reopened consequently this school was two weeks lat- er in completing the school year.
The present arrangement of eleven weeks in the fall and in the winter and eight in the spring has proven, I think, very sat- isfactory and I recommend the same arrangement for the ensu- ing year unless the school board sees fit to maintain more than thirty weeks. However, if any school director thinks it advisa- ble to suspend the sessions of any school for a week at Christ- mas I would advise that an extra week be taught in the fall term to provide for this cessation. Local sentiment and conditions should determine the course to pursue in this matter. I would suggest that the fall term begin Tuesday, September, 2, 1913, the winter term, Monday, December 1, 1913, and the spring term Monday, April 13, 1914.
New floors have been laid in the school rooms at Thetford Center and Post Mills, new slate blackboards have been put in at East Thetford and minor improvements made in other school- houses. Receptacles for drinking water such as were suggested in my report of one year ago, have been placed in the schools where they were most needed.
I would suggest that the requests of individual teachers for inexpensive decorations and conveniences that may add to the attractiveness of the schoolrooms be granted to a reasonable ex- tent. I have wondered many times how some children coming from attractive and well furnished homes can submit as cheerful- ly as they do to the bare walls, uncurtained windows and gener- al uncongenial surroundings of some of our school buildings. There is also an argument, and a stronger one, doubtless, that a few good pictures and an attempt at color harmony should be
1
36
furnished for those children who do not have that refining influ- ence in their homes. In return for improvements made in the interior of our schoolhouses children should be taught to conduct themselves within the schoolroom in a becoming manner. Much depends on the latitude the teacher allows the pupils along this line. In my opinion the conduct of pupils within the school- room even out of school hours should be such as is demanded in a well managed home. Carrying out this same idea I wish to state that although I fully sympathize with the teacher who has to eat a cold luncheon, I gravely question if her presence or that of someone in authority is not sorely needed at the schoolhouse during the noon hour. I seldom remain at a schoolhouse dur- ing that hour in the absence of the teacher. I do not have oc- casion to restrain the action of some pupil or pupils. It might be well for a director to consider this matter when engaging a teacher.
I have no other recommendations to make. I believe that, on the whole our schools compare favorably with those of other towns in the state. Our pupils taking the examinations for free tuition last year were rated among the highest in the state and I see no reason why they should not rank as well this year.
We have tried to make our policies conservatively progres- sive never jumping at half-tested innovations yet recognizing the progress of the times.
There has never been found a satisfactory substitute for hard work by which to obtain thorough practical efficiency in any vo- cation and I venture to predict that the seeker for that substitute will be busy for some time to come. Your superintendent has tried to impress upon the teachers the importance of making practical those fundamental subjects taught in our public schools. Parents can help wonderfully along this line if they will. Dur-
1
37
ing the past year the superintendent has accompanied the ad- vanced pupils of nearly all of our schools on expeditions to farm buildings and there directed them in applying the rules of prac- tical measurements. The measurement of hay, wood and lum- ber and the capacity of bins and water tubs, both circular and square, have been taken up. It is his purpose another year to extend this work including the measurement of land and other surfaces and the net profit or loss of some crops. In this con- nection I would suggest to parents that they follow as closely as possible the work their pupils are doing along this line and assist them in applying this instruction in and around the home.
I have in previous reports urged the people, especially the parents of pupils to visit the schools and become more fully ac- quainted with the work being done. I should be pleased to see the names of more visitors recorded in our school registers. However, let me say that the more I am becoming acquainted with the people of this section the more I am inclined to be- lieve that they are following the work and appreciating the efforts being made to build up and strengthen our public schools and to give to the children of today a thorough, practical education as a foundation for their life's work.
In conclusion I wish to again record my appreciation of the almost universal loyalty and support accorded me in my work.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. P. MCKNIGHT

REPORT OF THE THETFORD PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Of the thirty-five dollars appropriated by the town for the library, ten is paid for the rent of the Latham Memorial Library, which makes the use of the three thousand volumes of that li- brary free to any resident of the town. Ten dollars is paid tow- ard the librarian's salary, leaving fifteen for the purchase of new books.
There are now in the library, two hundred and thirty vol- umes. The state has given us twenty-five new books this year.
The librarian will be glad to make up from the two libra- ries a collection of children's books to be used in any school- room in town ; these can be kept for a few weeks and of course must be well cared for.
The library is open on Tuesday afternoon from three to five and on Friday evening from six to eight.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SLADE, President of the Trustees.
