REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Five schools of twenty-eight weeks each have been sup- ported during the year. Eight different teachers have been employed, two of whom were residents of the town and taught the full year in the East Dover and Number 3 schools. Five of the number were graduates of a High school or of an Academy, and with one exception had taught before. Only one permit was granted, and this to the teacher of the spring term in West Dover village. Her education, as shown by examination, was sufficient for the work, yet she was unable to maintain order, therefore the pupils were not anxious to study and received little or possibly no benefit from that term of the school.
Another teacher was secured for the fall, and while con- ditions there were discouraging she established order and system which were maintained during the remainder of the year. These with good instruction were of great value to her pupils.
In the fall the teacher in Number 1 was criticised because children were detained after school to get lessons that were not well learned in school hours and for omitting recitations occasionally ; nevertheless, with two exceptions, the attend- ance was good and the work accomplished during this and the winter term was commendable.
The progress made in the other schools has been satis- factory, the teachers doing creditable work that was help- ful to the pupils, which was shown not only by their orderly deportment but by oral examination and written work that showed neatness and accuracy.
Eighty pupils were enrolled, the average attendance per day being higher than usual. No cases of truancy were reported, although some of the children between the ages
19
of eight and fifteen have not attended school as required by law.
In accordance with Number 45 of the Acts of the Gen- eral Assembly, 1904, our teachers tested the sight and hear- ing of sixty-six pupils, eighteen of whom had defects of vision, one had defect of eye and throat, another of eye and ear, making a total of twenty. Some of the parents who were notified that it was believed their child had some de- fect of vision, took that child to a specialist for further ex- amination and it was found that several had astigmatism and needed properly fitted glasses.
Parents should, and no doubt do, realize the importance of correcting this eye strain when their attention is called to the matter. It is the testimony of oculists that headaches, pain through the eyes, and nerve strain are often caused by errors of refraction which can be corrected.
New readers, spelling books, primary arithmetics and physiologies have been adopted and placed in the schools during the year. The schoolhouses and outhouses are in fairly good condition. Probably they would not be con- demned as unsanitary if examined by the health officer or the state board of health.
Respectfully submitted,
E. H. JONES,
Superintendent of Schools.
